significantly more efficient, such as ring-closing metathesis (RCM) to form tetrasubstituted
olefins. In this communication, we present new ruthenium complexes with increased
efficiency for this transformation. … In the course of our recent work on ruthenium-catalyzed
enantioselective metathesis, a five-membered ring containing a tetrasubstituted olefin was
unexpectedly isolated from the asymmetric ring-closing reaction of triene 7 catalyzed by …
